-ABOUT HIS PET PROJECT
The City Hall and all newspaper
men except the two or three who
turned the trick are gasping yet and
groping for an 'explanation of how
the Journal scooped every other loop
paper when it printed yesterday the
detailed report of the traction board.
Because it was known in advance
that the Journal would be antagonis

board inetnded to render, it is said
that it was agreed that when the re
port was ready for the newspapers
it should be given to every paper but
the Journal
But it turned out the other way,
for, instead, the Journal scooped,
every rival.

Journal appeared containing the full
report the Nws called up Bion J. Ar
nold, member of the traction board,
and asked if the report was authentic
as the Journal had it. The reply was
that he Journal had it correctly.
